Grandma liked to play bingo in the nursing home. Last week, she won two lottery scratch cards. She kept one for me. Here, I kept it for you. Go ahead, scratch it off. I never win at these. I said. Today’s your lucky day. I can feel it. I made a point of visiting on Thursdays. I knew it was chicken and noodle day and I could usually persuade Mandy the nurse to give me some to take home. It reminded me of high school and my grandma’s house at Thanksgiving. Noodles drying all over the kitchen. The smell of poultry broth. Celery.
